Message: [QUOTE="aburks41, post: 4816278, member: 4580"] I think I just had an aneurysm reading this thread. Most freshman don’t even hit their stride until February, especially at this level. You can see very clearly that Stewart will get to that point, but he’s still learning and when this team is playing against top level competition like a KU or UNC, you shorten the rotation and play your best players. Why is that controversial? You don’t want to destroy a kids confidence by throwing him into the fire in a place the Phog. Guys like Ball and Castle are definitely a couple months ahead of Stewart, likely because Stewart arrived in Storrs late and then missed a month of practice with that injury. If he’s not giving us 8-10 MPG by February, I’d be shocked. The talent is there. Give him a couple months to keep developing. He’s gonna be a really good player [/QUOTE]
